The world is so fucking stupid right now. If it wasn't for art, music, books, friends and family it would be completely unbearable.

How does that meme work where I post a crush and by doing so I date myself as an old person? Am I doing this right? That's Mary Lou Loud. Mary Lou Lord was the shit.
First of many different beers I picked up today. Space Cowboy Passion Fruit IPA from Sons of Kent from Chatham, ON. Intense fruit-forward taste. Smooth with soft hop character. Galaxy, Citra and Nectaron hops elevate the fruit and citrus notes. #BeerSky #Canada #CraftBeer. Happy Long Weekend!
The Record Show at Sons of Kent Brewery was a success. I've been looking for this in decent condition and the price was even better. I also picked up some beer only available direct for later after I mow the lawn. #vinyl #nowspinning
History exalts only the pornography of force, that of murderers and psychopaths. The rest of us, of course, stricken from the narrative wholesale, a backdrop to their tale! youtu.be/8gXGJt8NAK0?...

I know what some of you are thinking but don't dismiss this album. Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel's band) were the studio musicians. It's a stellar example of that mid-80s synth-pop, new-wave sound. It deserves modern retro synthwave remixes. #vinyl #nowspinning
Some of the 90's best blues noise rock on this album. Dark and twisted, channels the best of The Stooges and if you're not careful while listening you might find yourself chugging whisky, trying to figure out how you can score hard drugs, and loading a shotgun. #vinyl #nowspinning
Is it Thursday? I've lost track. Fajitas for dinner. House to myself as the better half is working late. Trying to get my Discogs caught up because there is a record show this weekend at Sons of Kent Brewery. #vinyl #nowspinning.
One benefit of the trade war is the removal of interprovincial barriers. Allows me to enjoy craft beers I could never get before in Ontario, like 'The Wolf' Hazy Pale Ale from Sea Change Brewing out of Edmonton, AB. Sessionable at 5.5% and brewed with Alberta oats and wheat. #BeerSky
Expecting our first frost overnight so today was harvest time for my little (and 100% legal) backyard garden.
No porch tonight but a first taste of Legacy's Canadian Farmhouse Ale out of Northumberland Ontario. Barley from Alberta and B.C.; Hops from Quebec; Oats, Wheat & Rye from Ontario. Proof this country is best when we all work TOGETHER. #Canada #CraftBeer #BeerSky
Strive to be unfailingly upright in all your dealings, to show the slaves of priestcraft and superstition that morality has nothing to do with religion - Robertson Davies
PRFM was OK. Picked up some tchotchkes but nobody was selling vinyl. Perhaps I need to start up a side hustle and get myself a table next time. I did pick up a stack of offensive greeting cards.
Back in the 90's my buddies and I used to love Grossman's Tavern on Spadina in Toronto. Not only because the live blues was amazing, but because they ignored patrons smoking joints. We saw Sass Jordan there more than once. R.I.P. youtu.be/qjVq3OsX19Q?...

It's Porch Beer time while I wait for the roasted vegetables to finish up. First taste for me of Cat Lady IPA from Bellwoods Brewery out of Toronto. #BeerSky
I've been banned from r/antimoneymemes for posting a comment inferring that Jeffrey Sachs is in the employ of Putin. This was in response to a video where he dumped the Ukraine War 100% at the foot of NATO and painted Putin as a tragic hero. Look what the mod team sent me... beyond the pale.
First listen for me of the new Dinosaur Jr. album. J, Lou, and Murph are in top form. The album wrapped around me like a warm blanket on a cool fall day... which it is. #vinyl #nowspinning
Probably better the antique mall was a bust today. It means I have a decent budget for Punk Rock Flea Market tomorrow afternoon. I should probably be doing yard work or laundry today but don't have the motivation. Just sitting here drinking espressos with the music cranked. #vinyl #nowspinning
A nearby antique mall advertised a pop-up vinyl sale today. I walked in, the lady behind the counter took one look at me and said "Vinyl Sale was Cancelled, Sorry". Do I really have 'the look' I asked? "Umm, no offence but yes, absolutely". #vinyl #nowspinning

Just learned we are getting a 30th Anniversary Re-Release of Delerium's Karma on vinyl later this month. I can finally upgrade my old mp3 rip. Sarah McLaughlan's voice is magical. I've had a crush on her since teenage me saw the video for Vox on MuchMusic in 1988. youtu.be/ZkL3s_uCCxs?...

There is a municipal election coming up where I live. A couple years ago a guy I used to work with went semi-viral for a poster he made for the Ontario Provincial election. I've repurposed his original design accordingly and printed a sign for my lawn.

I think we need to be at least be open to the possibility that our future AI overlord might be smart enough to determine that in order to 'save the world' it only needs to kill off the Billionaire class, Pedophiles, and those who engage in Genocide.
